"This was the best vacation EVER!"

Memorial weekend just came and went. I seriously have not done so many wonderfully delightful things in such a long time. I started the weekend, Saturday night, by driving down to Zion's National park to watch Utah Premiere Brass Perform.

The concert was here.Nothing like listening to Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man and John William's Hymn to the Fallen with a breath-taking view such as this:and this...So, amazing!
Then I went to an amazing farewell for my cousin Benjamin Larsen. He did such a great job and will make a fabulous missionary. He's the 3rd missionary from the same family to be out at the same time. What a dedicated family.
After delightful story time and lots and lots and LOTS of food, we then headed to Grandma Rodabough's house. Playing the Ukulele and singing the whole way there, of course. ;)
The next morning we all headed to a park in Woods Cross. Every year the city puts on a breakfast for the community. Such a great idea. Unfortunately it was rainy and cold, but we made the best of it. After sitting down with our hearty meal of pancakes, eggs and ham, lo and behold a group of people playing the bagpipes came to serenade us. Imagine that! Breakfast and bagpipes, who would have thought. After being thoroughly frozen, we headed back to Grandma's, snuggled, watched movies and ate delicious food. Such a good weekend!
